Level 9: 300/600 with a 100 Ante
Flight B Entries:193

With Flight A all wrapped up, we can fully concentrate on the late flight of the day. The Flight B crew recently returned from their second break of the day and the entry count is moving closer to 200. A few more entries and the tournament will be more than halfway to its $300,000 guaranteed prize pool.

SHRP regular Abbey Daniels is among the late gang at the tables and she’s looking to add to her impressive list of accomplishments. She is just shy of $700,000 in career earnings including a televised fourth-place finish during the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Championship in 2011 and a WPTRegional win right here on property.

Level 16: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 Ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 28 of 247

Flight A hit the special number of 28 entries remaining to leave 12% of the starting field. There were less than three minutes left in Level 16 and the remaining players will return on Sunday for Day 2.

Dennis Rodriguez stormed ahead late and will return to a stack worth 403,500. Herbert Woodbery bagged second biggest with 364,500 followed by Zoltan Czinkota with 325,000.

We will post the complete chip count list as soon as it is available.

Level 15: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 Ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 36 of 247

Flight A is creeping down towards a magic number that might end their day early. The structure says they will play through 18 levels or 12% of the field, whichever comes first. With 247 entries, that 12% number might hit before they reach the end of Level 18.

Herbert Woodbery looks like your current leader with a couple barrels of 5K chips and around 250,000 as Flight A nears the end.

Level 14: 1,000/2,000 with a 300 Ante
Flight A Players Remaining: 45 of 247

Flight A is shrinking as they inch closer to their end-of-day play and Tristan Wade is making a bid for another deep run in only the second day of the series.

Wade is over 160,000 in the late stages of the day less than 24 hours after he finished 16th in Event 1 for a fine start to the trip.

Level 9: 400/800 with a 100 Ante
Flight A Entries: 244

The Flight A entry count is continuing an upward tick and approaching the 250 mark. That puts the tournament well on pace to best the $300,000 guaranteed with a prize pool already in excess of $80,000. Registration is still open for Flight A and three additional flights remain to climb the entries higher.

One player standing above the rest here midway in the opening flight is Tristan Wade. Wade has about 100,000 chips and looks to add to accolades that include a WPTDeepStacks Player of the Year title and more than $1,700,000 in reported earnings.

Flight A Entries: 240

Another Florida regular is making waves here in the Flight A of the WSOP Circuit $400 re-entry. Zoltan Czinkota has been on a hot streak turning his 15,000 chips into about 90,000. That’s good for one of the big stacks and puts Czinkota on pace for a potential bag here in the series opener.

Czinkota has had some good success at Seminole events including a third-place finish in the 2016 Player of the Year race. That title won him entries in various events throughout the following season and he’s been chasing deep runs ever since.

Level 7: 200/400 with a 50 Ante
Flight A Entries: 218

Wally Maddah is in the midst of his 2018 WSOP Circuit debut. The Tampa area grinder is perhaps the most recognizable of all the Seminole regulars. By his own account, he owns 99 Seminole cashes — 50 in his home room in Tampa, 47 in Hollywood and two here in Coconut Creek. Do that math and that puts him one shy of 100 Seminole cashes.

He’s put a few entries toward a cash here in the $400 re-entry, but still has a long way to go to nab the elusive 100th.

The first break wrapped just about 15 minutes ago and the field has piled in nicely here for the $300,000 guarantee. Curtis Daye has enjoyed some of the best fortune during the early going and finds himself with about 55,000 chips and toward the top of the counts. Daye has a tough table with South Florida regulars Zoltan Czinkota and Elliot Zaydman facing off against him.

Level 3: 75/150
Flight A Entries: 168

Mike Laake made the short trek southeast to join the action here in Coconut Creek. Laake is one of Seminole Gaming’s best poker supporters and has carded more than $950,000 in wins during his on-felt career. His resume boasts a number of cashes at the Hollywood and Tampa properties, but just a few here in Coconut Creek. He’s a part of the Flight A field and looking for a strong score that would likely push him in to seven-figure territory for career earnings.

Level 2: 50/100
Flight A Entries: 118

Level 1 wrapped and the field has grown nicely since kickoff just 30 minutes ago. As is, nearly 120 entries are in the game and searching for a gold ring along with a share of $300,000 guaranteed. The South Florida showing is strong with Lou Stadler, Nagui Yassa, Mike Laake and Herbert Woodbery in the early going.
